    Yup, same team folks.

    If a vocal, active group (way to go LA!) is pitted against their peers (booo) it is a message divided and our opponents win.

    I hope my city shows their strength and voice, and I hear rumblings of people planning things which is awesome, but I’m not for dicking around on freeways and being an arsehole for clout and attention.

        I’m sorry, but these people are at least spending their Sunday drawing attention. What are you doing that’s so superior? I agree that it’s not my kind of protest, but at least doing something is better than sitting on your thumb hoping for a savior.

          If I told you what I was planning to do, I’d get arrested. So, no! But if you watch Army of Shadows (1969), you’ll get a general idea.

          And you’re not listening. Focused protesting is important. It’s not an insult to tell people the target has moved and old tactics won’t work.

          You just want to be mad and you think I’m the enemy. In reality, I want to help, but you don’t want help. You just want to be mad and yell in the street. Which is understandable, but not productive.
